Our Country’s Nightmare

January 6th, 2021 was a day when Law and Order became a suggestion rather than the rule. Trump and his misfit malignant militia crossed what should be everyone’s RED LINE.

For a historical record of what led up to that day and since that day until today, In her Substack today, Jan.6, 2026, Heather Cox Richardson has an excellent recollection of the events leading up to Jan.6 through Trump and his Administration’s abduction of the president and the First Lady of Venezuela.

Below is from the official website of the U.S. Government:
